Lasioglossum on riparian Sisymbrium loeselii - Lasioglossum - Female
Sevenmile Creek, 8 km NW of Helena, Lewis and Clark County, Montana, USA
October 4, 2021
Size: ca 7 mm
Small grayish bee, with somewhat striped abdomen. Collected from Sisymbrium loeselii flowers. Stream floodplain disturbed in winter 2020-2021 by heavy equipment during stream restoration work. Large patches of bare ground, stands of exotic perennial grasses re-establishing, large patches of Chenopodium simplex and C. berlandieri with many ripe seeds, and patches of still-flowering Helianthus annuus and Sisymbrium loeselii. Smoky mid-afternoon, sunny, calm wind, 69 F to 79 F.

Elevation ca 4000 feet. Disturbed riparian corridor on stream restoration site within a patchwork of native and non-native grassland.

My apologies for the poor condition of this specimen.
